A new furnace allows visitors to view the intriguing world of glassblowing and interact with the glassblower as he demonstrates glassmaking in all its complexity. In the new Hirschmann Theater a 20-minute multi-media presentation called 'Sandwich: The First 200 Years' is an exciting introduction to the history of the town.
